Delay in Filing Weakens Enforcement Strength.

The Hon'ble Courts are viewing delay and acquiescence strictly, especially where defendant has built parallel goodwill over time.

Case Law Support: Khoday Distilleries Ltd v. Scotch Whisky Association – Supreme Court recognized delay as a relevant factor in denying injunction.

Takeaway

Delay in action can dilute enforcement rights even with strong mark.

Advisory

Initiate enforcement immediately upon detection of infringement.
